Getting started

Designing a reusable template

Create a letter design once in the Intelliprint Dashboard with {variable} placeholders, then reuse it for every personalised bulk mailing.

Templates let you design a letter once in the Dashboard and reuse it for every mailing, with placeholders that get filled in per recipient from your mailing list. This is a Dashboard feature — templates are designed visually, not built via the API.

Creating a template

  • Log in to your Intelliprint Dashboard.
  • Open Templates in the sidebar and choose Create New Template.
  • Design the letter, then insert variable placeholders using curly braces — {first_name}, {last_name}, {company}, or any custom field from your mailing list.
  • Save the template, then use the Test feature to preview it with sample data before sending live.

Using your template

Once saved, reference the template by ID in a print job alongside a mailing list. Intelliprint fills in each recipient's variables automatically.

Node.js
const printJob = await ip.prints.create({
  template: 'tmpl_abc123',
  mailing_list: 'mal_customers_2024',
  confirmed: true
})

For maintaining the mailing list itself, see sending mail in bulk.
